Facebook is kicking off its first ever live football match. The social network will show today's charity friendly soccer match between Manchester United and Everton, held in celebration of United and England striker Wayne Rooney.

Rooney's current team Manchester United will face Everton, his first club, at United's Old Trafford ground. It's the first home game for new United manager Jose Mourinho, and is expected to be an early chance to see new United signings Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Eric Bailly and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in action.
